The town of Waterbury has set up a website, www.revitalizingwaterbury.org to help with the clean-up effort. We’ve been posting a lot of details here, but their website also has a list of households that need assistance cleaning up. Just click the “People who need help” link on their site.

First of all, Bennington is no where near Waterbury, and with the roads as they are they probably couldn’t get there from here anyhow.

Second of all, I think it is mean-spirited and ignorant to assume people who depend on welfare don’t already give back to their communities (and the underlying assumption that they are “lazy” is just plain classist.)

Thank you! But this website is incorrect. Revitalizing Waterbury is our downtown organization and has been around for twenty years; its correct URL is revitalizingwaterbury.org. They are now posting flood-related info there.

The Town and Village of Waterbury recently dedicated a portion of their municipal site to the flood response: waterburyvt.com/flood
